The Department works closely with Federal, State and local government divisions to develop and implement effective programs for local businesses and distressed neighborhoods.
The City of Calumet City has taken a very assertive approach in redefining the business community by establishing and implementing various economic tools including Tax Increment Financing, Enterprise Zone, Cook County Tax Incentives and much more due to Home Rule Status. Because of this effort, business, residential, park and school districts have all experienced an unprecedented growth and improvement period.
Our business community serves not only those who reside in Calumet City, but also hundreds of thousands who reside in the 15 mile radius that make Calumet City shopping districts their destination. In addition Calumet City has a rich cultural history of which we are proud. The successful implementation of community, beautification and city marketing programs are a testament that the administration¹s vision is becoming a reality!
